CLEAVELAND TRADITIONAL MAGNET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Cleaveland Traditional Magnet Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Wichita school district, located in Wichita, KS with about 266 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 17 teachers, Cleaveland Traditional Magnet Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Cleaveland Traditional Magnet Elementary, located in Wichita, Kansas, is part of the Wichita Public Schools (USD 259) district. As a "traditional" magnet school, its academic approach emphasizes a structured, back-to-basics curriculum. The school focuses on fostering a disciplined learning environment where students develop foundational academic skills through a highly consistent pedagogical style, often including direct instruction and a strong focus on core subjects like reading, writing, and mathematics.

Because it operates as a magnet school, Cleaveland attracts students from beyond its immediate residential boundaries who are seeking a specific educational philosophy. The school works to balance this rigorous academic framework with character development, aiming to prepare students for success in their middle and high school years.
